Yoga Connection

I suffer from tension headaches /​/​migraines. My neck, shoulders, and back have muscle flare ups. Hot yoga helps me to relive any tension or stress I get. I was able to stop taking muscle relaxers and pain relievers when practicing hot yoga. My posture and body relaxation has improved tremendously. I love it for how it makes me feel spiritually and my feelings towards my appearance improves. I feel more confident and well balanced all around.

Love my yoga studio! All The teachers are great and friendly! I love shays class but some of the newer teachers (within last 6months) are really wonderful too!

My husband surprised me with a package to this studio. I have tried a few classes and have loved all the instructors. The studio is very welcoming. The studio is clean and I love the locker room. The classes tend to get packed and sometimes you have to squeeze into a class, but the actual yoga practice is great! I always leave here feeling great, even a little sore from the workout!

Tried hot yoga. After 90 minutes was soaking wet and exhausted, but what a joy. The first lesson was free.

Ive been here 3 times and had different instructors. The studio is great and i definitely recommend hot yoga. However make sure you get a good instructor. Out of the 3 times i went i only liked one instructor

Very nice studios, staff is professional.
I left some clothing in the locker room and on my next visit not only was it in the lost and found but it was laundered and folded.
They take yoga seriously and their instructors are top notch, particularly Alina.
It’s a little east for my regular practice but well worth the drive.

Love love love it here awesome teachers, so addicted highly recommend

Great vibe, great instructors, fantastic management. Also first class is free. One of my favorite places to get my yoga on! Namaste!

I love yoga connection! I’ve been coming here for 8 months and love it. I’ve been to multiple yoga studios in different states over the past two years and this one is my favorite. The hot yoga times in the evening are great and work well with my schedule. The instructors are awesome and unique in their own way. Definitely recommend it!

I would give one because 0 was not available. The owner is verbally abusive person and the crossed ethical practices by calling family members to inquire about personal information when membership was not part of a family account.
Following my comment on Unilocal the following unfolded:
«Vanya,
You broke your contract with Yoga Connection which we have proof of that. Now that you are trying to drag Yoga Connection’s name through the mud, we are going to be letting our entire staff and clientele know who you are, and what you are doing now in writing false reviews on Unilocal about us. Yoga Connection is a highly respected business in South Florida and there are going to be a lot of upset people when they find out what you are doing. We suggest you take your review down before all those people find out about you. We take this very seriously and we think the public has a right to know. We are not making any threats, because we don’t consider telling the truth anything but the truth.»
I replied that I had misunderstood the contract and owned my mistake at the time and also paid all dues at the time. I had filed a claim to my credit card because of charges I did not recognize as approved, they showed me the signed contract and despite disputes I paid all of them in full even thou I had not attended a single time during the disputed period. nevertheless that did not justify the harassment and evil spirit in which he conducted business with me. I also asked that he respects my will not to be solicited by him as I feel verbally abused and harassed.
The below message followed:
«If you decide not to remove the bogus review then I will also be forced to write a rebuttal on Unilocal to your review and I will tell EVERYONE exactly what you did too. You broke your contract with us, the contract you signed twice, you lied about it, and then you were forced to reverse the charges, and we have the proof. The only one who is going to be embarrassed in all of this is you Vanya.»
Upon this last conversation he became my fan on Unilocal and started following me.
Brian also contacted my father via an email. My father was never part of my contract with Yoga Connection, misinformed him of the circumstances and also failed to communicate his threats to me.
If that is not verbal abuse and harassment then I don’t know what is.

Must give lots of love to Yoga Connection. This is my happy place. The place has such a down to earth vibe. No divas here. The instructors are all very warm, friendly, and helpful. The classes are not intimidating. They are appropriate for all levels. In the same class you can have newbies to veterans who are doing handstands and all types of inversions. Most participants, like me are somewhere in between. Some come several times a week and some saunter in once in a while. All are made to feel welcome.
In class, the instructors always emphasize that it is not the end result or the pose that is important, but the process. They also stress that everyone go to their own pace or ability. All of the instructors are excellent and all unique in their own way. Shayna has more of a «lets play and have fun» attitude which is awesome. Jessica is a stickler for form but is so helpful with it. Samantha has great energy and encourages you to reach your full potential (she always picks great readings at the end). Bea, the «teacher’s teacher» is all about body awareness and the total yoga experience. I have been to other classes and you can’t go wrong with any of the teachers.
I love the room. The ceiling is high with brown & tan tiles. There are also funky fixtures. It’s like a big cavern… nothing fancy, but you feel very isolated from the world. I don’t like other studios where you can see the street or hear outside noise in the studio. So far I have only taken the Hot Yoga types of classes. The room is always heated evenly and to me it feels great. Another aspect that I like about the classes is the music. Most instructors do not play drippy, relaxing New Age music, which is common to many yoga classes. They play all types of music including rock, pop, jazz, etc. Of course you may get some new age stuff, especially at the end during the relaxation part. I also like that the lighting is usually somewhat dim and dark during relaxation.
There are so many classes at convenient time at Yoga Connection. Each class is an hour and a half. Yes, 90 minutes!!! This can be time consuming but you really do get your money’s worth. You will work hard for the whole class. Sometimes you will use muscles you never knew you had. Then at the end, if you can truly let go, you will feel wonderfully relaxed. I always fall asleep and get up felling so peaceful.
Classes can be bought in packages or you can buy memberships. The packages are very reasonable, with classes running about $ 12.50-$ 15 each depending on the amount you buy. Yoga Connection often has sales making those price even lower. They also have student discounts.
Best of all, you can try your first class absolutely free. They don’t give you a hard sell either. Everything is just so relaxed around there! So if you like yoga or have ever had any interest in yoga, this is the place to try it.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!
I AM BEYOND IMPRESSED!!! (YES THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS)
For the past month I’ve wanted to incorporate Yoga to my workouts, BUT REAL YOGA!!! Not P90X Yoga (Nothing wrong with it) I searched for places on here and one review stood out. So I called and decided to get information. The gentlemen on the phone was very informative and advice which class I should take for beginners AND IT WAS FREE!!! DID I HEAR FREE???
I arrived 15 mins early in the event paperwork had to be filled out. The front desk receptionist took my license showed me where the bathroom was at and told me to walk down the hall where class was going to take place.
Immediately I felt like the ODD ball, everyone is flexing it making all these weird funny yet interesting twists and turns!!! I find my spot in the back of the room like the new kid in class… lol I get settled and just wait for class to start. I notice the energy was calm I was taking it all in not really knowing what to expect. Then the Instructor. kindly approaches me and says «Hi So you’re my Newbie! Nice to meet you I’m …(yea I forgot her name but not her cool tattoos) and I’ll go over the basics and let me know if you have any questions. She brought me a block and made me feel so comfortable.
Class starts and the instructors communication WAS AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! I DID NOT FEEL LOST AT ALL, I FELT LIKE A PRO IN MY BUCKET OF SWEAT!!! The ending was the Cherry on my imaginary Sundae!!! The energy, the peace I felt was un explainable. Between the dimming of the lights and music I was in heaven, completely disconnected from suckkyy reality… yes reality can be sucky at times!!! I was in a ZONE I had NEVER experienced, I found Serenity peace, My heart felt HAPPY!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STUDIO AND THIS CLASS (HOT YOGA)
I will be going back on Sunday at 4pm to take this instructors class again!!!

This is an overall GREAT studio. It is a very welcoming environment. It is clean and has a lot of space for your bag/​shoes. They have a hot room and a non-​heated room. The hot room is HUGE and can hold a lot of people. The non-​heated room is about half the size but you can still fit a ton of people in there. Each teacher has their own teaching style; they are all different, but all are great teachers. Because of this, you may need to try different teachers out to find your best fit, but don’t get turned off to the whole place by one teacher, just give someone else a try! They have plenty of great workshops to offer almost every weekend. Their prices are pretty average, not too expensive and they have good packages. They also do yoga teacher training there which I took part in and it was an experience that has truly changed my life! Definitely give the studio a try, and who knows, maybe one day you’ll decide to become a teacher!

Great studio with all of the essential elements– talented instructors, calming environment, and reasonable prices!
I love that they offer both hot and traditional yoga classes at all times of the day. All of the instructors have been very enjoyable as well. They also offer some special events (yoga 70’s party, workshops, etc.) that I’m looking forward to attending in the future.
Highly recommended!

With everything Yoga is supposed to offer including a positive, warm mind and body connection, the staff who answers inquiries for potential clients and newcomers to yoga are the worst. While calling to inquiry about classes and ask about health concerns, Phillis, who has apparently worked the front desk for eight years, literally passed me off to a man in the middle of a question (with not a word about being busy right then or anything-​literally in mid-​sentence). Being completely taken aback by this very unprofessional and quite frankly surprising introduction to yoga, I am convinced that this Yoga Connection is merely a guise to promote yoga not its philosophy. When I gathered my emotions about being passed off without one word that they were apparently busy checking people in, the man at the desk gave me attitude. A person inquiring about service, including private sessions at $ 100 per hour, gave me attitude. Wow! These people are definitely jerks who do not understand the premise behind this eastern art and philosophy. My friend enjoys the Yoga studio, Yoga Joint, out east in Fort Lauderdale. Because the Yoga Connection is the only place in west, central Broward, it must be the only reason why it is in business. Sad. Well, maybe I will try yoga out in Fort Lauderdale, albeit inconvenient, and then help invest for some competition in west, central Broward. It won’t be difficult to build a better business than Yoga Connection. Buyer Beware! This is all people need to know. The Yoga Connection does not truly care about people.

Glad to say I’ve found my new yoga studio! Absolutely love this place. Friends staff, large studio, great location, awesome prices, and I love that they have a full equipped bathroom! Not only are they the first yoga studio I’ve ever seen with showers, but they have hair irons, blow driers, even face moisturizer! Absolutely convenient. I really loved their hot vinyasa class with Shayna, she was very helpful, experienced, and had excellent music. Can’t wait to come back!

So I bravely ventured here as a newbie to the Yoga world, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found!
I was invited to go with a friend, who might I add already had crazy plank/​head/​pretzel yoga moves already conquered as I had seen firsthand, so to say I was slightly intimated would be a fair understatement. I had done one Yoga class in college, but pretty sure the instructor was still training or just wasn’t sure what they were doing at all… needless to say I walked out after 15 minutes. After that, I’d been skeptical of a couple of things in regards to yoga such as how yoga was really a real workout, it’s actual benefits, and really began to think it was more about a hype/​trend than exercise at all. Well, Yoga Connection has successfully shattered all these doubts, and here is why.
To start off, the atmosphere is incredibly inviting. Very clean and nice, fresh tea, and a lovely smell. So far, not to scared. As a first time guest, my class was free, woo! The receptionist asked if it was my first time to yoga, and I said yes, so she called over the instructor, Shayna, and she spoke with me a little about the basics and the moves before I went in to the hot, yoga cave. I was thankful she gave me a heads up privately before we were in the class of about thirty people. We walked in to the room and it was hot, but not an unbearable heat, it was pleasant. Dimly lit, spacious, nicely decorated, high ceilings, and a huge mirror wall. After we all took our positions, we went in to a full ninety minutes of hot crazy yoga, and surprisingly I loved it!
The whole experience was great. I love intense workouts, so I hate coming out of exercise not a sweaty mess, and this definitely didn’t disappoint. Not only because of the heated room, but the stretches that your pushing your body to do, it’s not easy let’s put it that way. You’re forced to use balance, concentration, endurance, and stability. All different aspects of exercise than what I’m used to with fast circuit training or other intense exercise, but found it’s no hype, it definitely was equally important and beneficial for the body. It allowed me to use my body in another way, and I loved the stretch and how great my body felt after. I felt like a noodle, and all stretched and refreshed, and pleasantly sore the next morning! It’s a mind/​body experience for sure, and I really loved every second. Great stuff! Thanks Yoga connection (and Roasario for the invite) for making me a fan!

I first went to Yoga Connection for a Headstand/​Crow Pose workshop with Jessica. I was so impressed with the studio that I decided to start taking my Saturday classes here.
I’ve been doing so for about a month now and i’m still very impressed with this place. The space is quite big and nicely decorated. The owners are super down to earth and very nice and Jessica is my favorite yoga instructor of all of times.
I usually do the hot vinyasa class and it never disappoints. Its hard enough to be challenging, but adaptable enough to not discourage you. The room is heated evenly which sometimes is not the case in other studios. The music is always very relaxing, but every now and then Jessica will surprise us with an upbeat popular song. I always walk out of class feeling rejuvenated and with a quiet mind. Its so awesome to be able to just sit in a room with people who are taking yoga seriously and see everyone struggle but succeed.
I definitely recommend this studio to anyone who is already a fan of yoga or anyone looking to try it out. You wont be disappointed.

I have been practicing yoga for more than seven years. One of the most important things to look for in a studio is a space that will help you grow into your own practice, which is a very joyful and sometimes frustrating journey. The teachers at yoga connection guide you though the mindless chatter in your head and they give you the tools so that you can be your best yoga teacher. The owners are down to earth and they care about their students so you never have to feel like you can’t mention something that makes you feel less than wonderful. When I practice at this studio, I never feel as though I need to impress anyone nor do I feel like anyone is watching me unless the teacher is trying to assist in giving me the tools I need in order to work on my practice. I’m a yogi for life and yoga connection is where I have grown my practice and opened my heart to the tremendous abundance that this work can do for not only myself but the entire community– the Cula. Peace and Happy Journey. I hope this message helps anyone who would like to know more about the practice.

After moving back to Florida from LA this past January, it didn’t take long before I almost gave up hope to find a decent ACTUAL yoga studio. Especially in South Florida, the few studios I did try out weren’t about the breathing and other techniques that I’m use to.
I tried Shayna’s Monday 7:45p class and I. LOVED. IT! It was a hot (not bikram hot, but definitely heated) vinyasa flow class that definitely helped start to undo the five months of mess I’ve put my body through. Her music selection was epic. The way she instructed the class was very good. And her energy was/​is magnificent.
It was just nice to be in a room full of people who (seem to) want to practice yoga the way it was intended.
Apparently, it’s also under new management so prices and packages are not as expensive. When I went, newbie’s practiced for free and have the option to by an unlimited week pass for $ 30. I will definitely be trying this out to see how great the other instructors are.
I walked out from class feeling all sorts of rejuvenated and love Mondays even more now. Seriously, so glad I came here.
